i'm going to bed

December 01, 2002 by Eric Richardson

I have a bit more writing to do before tomorrow. I'm not exactly tired, but I really don't feel like writing right now. So what do I do? I go to bed, setting my alarm to wake me up in a little under 4 1/2 hours... I am getting a semester's worth of work done in one day, though, so I guess I expect this.

it's december now folks

So November was a slow month for me as far as posting here goes. That's nothing really new, though; it's a pretty hectic month. But now it's December, Thanksgiving has come and gone, and we have one more week of classes before finals start. It's time to lay my schedule out and grind out the last two weeks or so. Lots of writing lies between me and Christmas. And yet, we sent Notre Dame's "Return to Glory" packing, so all is right in the world. The Trojans once again own LA.

mmmm... more papery goodness

Now it's 3:30. I've got four full pages, and have written about the first two points on my outline (of four). I'm still not sure what's going to get me to the 10 page mark. Something new is definitely going to have to find its way into my paper. I just have to think of it first. I can see getting 8 pages right now, so I'm going in the right direction at least.

So it's 12:45 and I've got two pages. I've managed to find my source in the course reader, so I've got that obligation taken care of. I can see this shaping up very nicely as a 5 - 6 page paper. Unfortunately, it has to be 10 - 12. I'm not exactly sure how that's going to work. More later.

getting down to writing

November 24, 2002 by Eric Richardson

So I'm at the point where I finally have to sit down and write the paper I figured out a topic for about a month ago. I hate that transition to actually writing. And more than that, I hate the thought of actually writing 10 - 12 pages right now. It'll be a long night.

Getting out to Ground Zero last night to see Saucy Monky reminded me how hard it is to run a successful music room in LA. Sure, GZ may get packed out...
